My Dreams Must Twine- Collaboration

A sad early death will be mine
if, my dreams do not twine.
No reason to rise up from my soft bed.
Why is your life so unyielding? My MUSE, just said.
Life reacts. You have poems to design!
But, I whisper to my heartless life,
____ I am dreaming of words divine,

. . . . of family I did love before;
in dreams I open the door;
and ruthless pain and sweet memories come!
I am past weeping, yet I gather every crumb.
Then, inside my head words twirl and pour!
Oh, I must FACE IT and rise, 
____ for my written words to soar.
